California Conundrum

California has branded itself a
“sanctuary” for illegal alien criminals. No matter how many times they’ve been
deported or what crimes they’ve committed, California will shield these
illegals from the uncaring Feds who’d like to know their whereabouts. Now that’s tolerance.

The
formerly Golden State is also awash in homeless folks. Countless thousands roam
the streets of its inner cities, where they defecate. A lot. So much, in fact,
that an interactive map of San Francisco was created back in 2014 charting the
locations where human excrement “incidents” have occurred. The map, dubbed
“Human Wasteland,” tracks the specific locations of piles of fecal matter
reported to the city’s police force during any given month by marking them with
poop emojis. Perhaps, instead of being touted as “The City by the Bay,” San
Francisco should be referred to as “The Shitter by the Bay.” California as a
whole might now be more accurately called “The Brown State.”

California
has literally gone to pot. The state
recently legalized recreational marijuana use, and has been abuzz ever since.

And now
a judge has ruled that businesses selling coffee must soon warn their customers
that the beverage may be harmful to their health, due to acrylamide, a chemical
that’s produced when coffee beans are roasted. The warning, mandated by the
judge’s ruling in favor of the Council for Education and Research on Toxics, an
organization that originally filed a lawsuit back in 2010, reads in part: “Chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and
reproductive toxicity, including acrylamide, are present in coffee, baked
goods, and other food or beverages sold here. Acrylamide is not added to our
products, but results from cooking, such as when coffee beans are roasted, or
baked goods are baked. As a result, acrylamide is present in our brewed
coffee….”

So,
drinking coffee, cooking and baking are bad for a person, but smoking marijuana
is perfectly okay? Incredibly, California purports to be concerned about
possible birth defects or reproductive issues, yet treats Planned Parenthood and
other abortion “providers” as if they were the bedrock of society. It can’t
stomach the thought of a citizen somehow being adversely affected by a cup of
joe, but steadfastly harbors criminal aliens who consistently end up rearrested
for robbery, aggravated assault, and sexual abuse.

How can this be?! You
can’t make it up. This brings new meaning to the phrase “the pot calling the
(coffee) kettle black.”

Maybe
someday Californians will get tired of rising to the smell of marijuana and
human dung.

An Ode To Life

Appreciate all you have, as it- and you- will soon be gone. Leave no heartfelt words unspoken, no sweet gesture incomplete, no act of love undone. Love your spouse with passion and abandon, your kids with patience and understanding but also a firm guidance. Love also the truth, no matter how hard. If pursued by enough people with enough courage, it really will set us free.

And don't forget, we didn't ask to be born. We didn't create ourselves. We are not gods. There is a higher power.

"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."- Winston Churchill
